Eligibility

Anyone who is ordinarily resident in the UK is entitled to NHS treatment and to register with a GP. ‘Ordinarily resident’ means you are lawfully living and settled in the UK. This includes full time students, those engaged in full time employment, asylum seekers and refugees.

Please note that it is a patient’s responsibility to provide proof of their entitlement. As such, if you wish to register, we require you to bring with you the following items:

- Proff of ID, such as a Driver's Licence or Passport.

- A Utility bill stating your name and current address.

- Details of your previous GP or your NHS Number.

- Proof of status in the country, for example a pay-slip or work contract for over 6 months.

Online 'pre-registration' with the practice

If you wish to pre-register click on the links below to open the forms. When you have completed all of the details, click on the "Send" button to mail your forms to us. Don't forget to book an appointment for registration and when you visit the surgery for the first time you will be asked to sign the form to confirm that the details are correct.

Also you will be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire. This is because it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records. There is an online version of this file too, which you may fill out, print, and bring with you when you come in to complete your registration. You can also email this form to us at: emperorsgate@nhs.net. When you come to the surgery you will be asked to sign this form to confirm that the details are correct.

Note that by sending the form you will be transmitting information about your self across the Internet and although every effort is made to keep this information secure, no guarantee can be offered in this respect.

Alternatively you may print off a registration form, fill it out and bring it in with you on your first visit to the practice.
